Great piece from Gideon Levy of Haaretz:

It was a pretty quiet year, relatively speaking. Only 457 Palestinians and 10 Israelis were killed, according to the B’Tselem human rights organization, including the victims of Qassam rockets. Fewer casualties than in many previous years. However, it was still a terrible year: 92 Palestinian children were killed (fortunately, not a single Israeli child was killed by Palestinians, despite the Qassams). One-fifth of the Palestinians killed were children and teens – a disproportionate, almost unprecedented number. The Jewish year of 5767. Almost 100 children, who were alive and playing last New Year, didn’t survive to see this one.

Rest here…

While you’re there, read the comments too:

Gideon, you are such a pathetic self hating jew…

Shut up Gideon and Haaretz. The Palestinians are killing their own children, it’s a technicality that they are dying from IDF gunfire. I’ve no sympathy for these people.

God bless Gideon Levy and the honourable and beautiful Israel he represents…

Nobody said it was easy.
